MARGOT ROBBIE ON MOVIE ROLE

-

She dons a red wig, prosthetic­s and white face paint to play Queen Elizabeth

the First, cousin of Queen Mary Stuart, in the new biopic Mary Queen of Scots.

And it seems Margot Robbie’s transforma­tion to get into the character proved incredibly challengin­g for the acclaimed actress.

Speaking on the Today show on Friday, Margot, 28, said: ‘I could barely move my face because there was so much prosthetic­s. It’s glued-down plastic on your face.’

The blonde beauty added that the period costume presented its own difficulti­es - but it helped her get into character.

The clothes were very restrictiv­e, as they were at the time. It helped - I felt claustroph­obic, I felt trapped,’ Margot said.

‘But kind of upholding this image the whole time, which is kind of what she [Elizabeth] did. She kind of created an image and then was imprisoned by it.’
